By joining the Workgroup you have effectively disjoined from the domain
and the trust to the domain has been lost, you can no longer logon to
the domain. The only way to log back on to the machine
now is with a local administrator account. Try hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del
twice at the logon screen and try to log on using the built in
Administrator account, any network/IT administrator worth his salt
should have set a password on the account but maybe the account has no
password, try leaving the password box blank and press <Enter>. If you
cannot login without a password you can use a password reset utility
like this one: http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

Hi. I have changed the network settings on a Windows XP machine and
after rebooting, it no longer lets me logon.
After entering the username and password it tells me "The system could
not log you on. Make sure your username and domain are correct"
The problem was caused when I used the Network setup wizard to change
the network settings from a business network to a home network. I
guess that I have removed the domain settings or something and that it
is now trying to logon to WORKGROUP rather than the domain that it
used to logon to when it was used in the office.
It is a laptop and it has not been in the office for months and it has
not connected to the office network for months. I thought changing it
to a home network would let me share its drives with other machines in
the house.
My question is, how do i get to logon to this machine again? I can't
find an option to let me enter a domain name and even if I could, I
don't know the full name of the domain it used to connect to.
John John, I don't see another screen when I hit CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at
the logon screen.
I have tried the administrator account and there is a password set and
I don't know what it is.
I'll try using the software you linked to and see what I can do.
Thanks.
